A Black River boat slips away from the mangrove’s fingers; herons flare and a crocodile lifts a ridge-backed eye as the guide points out nesting sites. Later the road climbs to YS Falls, where seven tiers of limestone step water into mineral pools that dare you to jump; the plunge is cool and quick and real.
